You must update the FNDB (in admin mode) if you put files in this location. I can't say why installation doesn't work, but instead of manual installation I suggest to first try to set up a local repository: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45653/…

In your MWE, you're calling \includepdf in the preamble. That should be in the body of the document.

I had the same exact problem except I was using WinEdt rather than TexMaker. Here is what I did. I simply close WinEdt. Then right click on WinEdt icon and then select "Run as administrator". Then compile your file as usual. It should go through the instalation without any error.
